To the editor:
Tuesday night the supporters of Obama went to the Island Room for dinner and drinks and got a chance to view election returns.
Since the returns were not conclusive, they retired to the home of two members of the group and were pleased to see the campaign go very quickly for Obama.
The final acceptance speech was not ready until 2 a.m. What a strong finish Obama had! He spoke of hope, working together and being the President of the United States, of all the people, whether they voted for him or not.

To the editor:
It is an absolute disgrace that once again Florida leads the entire nation including states whose polls closed much later than Florida, in the inability to produce election results in a timely and reasonable fashion.
The Secretary of State who has been placed in their position like Katherine Harris awhile back, and the governors (currently Republican Rick Scott) who appointed them are solely responsible for this disgrace which could have been foreseen.
Come on Florida. We can do better than this.Barbara Blake

Williston Animal Group ( WAG) has saved the lives of nearly 3,000 dogs in our community. Now it is time for the community to save the life of WAG. Due to a greatly increased number of abandoned dogs, increased cost of food and medical treatments, WAG’s operating funds are rapidly being depleted.

To the editor:
President Obama and Vice President Biden have said repeatedly that the economy is slowly getting better and that we have “turned the corner” and that we see a clear road ahead.
What they have failed to say is that the first thing they see on that road is a big yellow and black sign that says “Dead End.”James M. Raimondi

To the editor:
The other day while I was at the post ofice, I noticed an advertisement flyer for their new “Go Green” stamps. This was double-sided 8.5”x3.75” multi-colored flyer.
I realize that we (the general public) must purchase stamps to put our correspondence into the postal delivery system BUT this is a government monopoly and does not need to advertise their product. Where or who do we go to if we need stamps–the USPS (and their distributors) because only they can produce and sell the product–the STAMP.

I want to publicly thank two of our city employees, Paul Lord and Kurt Heine. While reading our gas meter, Paul thought he smelled gas and reported it. A pin-hole leak was found on the city side and within two hours the pipe was replaced.

And even though we don’t like to see trees cut back, the tree trimmers, Michael Miller and Franklin Tyndal, also need to be recognized for the very dangerous work they do to keep limbs out of the power lines.
